Isabelt is all about keeping your pants in place without the bulk of a belt! They will prevent the "back gap" and keep your pants up where they are supposed to be! They have three great products for me to introduce you too the original isabelt, the isabelt wide, and isastrips!

The original isabelt and the isabelt wide are basically the same product only one is wide like a regular belt. They both come in black and clear. They are stretchy making it easy to adjust.

The original isabelt comes in small, medium, large, and plus size. While the Isabelt Wide fits up to a 50 inch waist!

The Isastrips can be used to keep your Isabelt in place or to keep your clothing in place.

Isabelts are to be adjusted prior to wearing and the directions should be read carefully before adjusting. It is really simple, but also different from what you would expect. When you first see the Isabelt you will probably want to adjust it the same as a bra, but it will not work. Instead you must "Hold belt above rough textured area close to adjuster with thumb & forefinger." then "With other hand, gently pull top strap at a downward angle to lengthen or shorten the belt."

I really like the Original Isabelt although I did have trouble with it staying in place. The original Isabelt is much thinner than the area between your belt loops making it difficult to keep in place. The Isastrips will help with this if you take the time to put them on. Although I would suggest going with the Isabelt Wide if you are planning to wear it with jeans on a regular basis. This should be closer to the belt loop size making it easier to keep in place.

The Isastrips are great for keeping your Isabelt in place, but also have lots of other uses. For heavy chested women the Isastrips will keep your button up shirt from gapping open just place a strip on the inside of your shirt! I am sure there are lots more, but the button up shirt use is a big one for me!

UPDATE: I received an email from Elaine suggesting that I should hook the Original Isabelt under the button of my jeans to prevent slipage. It appears that this does solve the problem so now I have to say that I give it two thumbs up. Thanks for the heads up Elaine!

No slippage, No Bulk, and no more pulling my pants up all day! I would say that is two thumbs up!!

(I did receive an Isabelt Original and Isastrips for review purposes. No other compensation received. This review is based on my opinion of the product reviewed and was in no way influenced by the said company )

I like that it doesn't have a belt bulge. Most of my jeans are very low cut, so I need to wear a belt with them to keep them up, but then the belt protrudes and looks like a belly bulge in certain outfits. Thanks for the giveaway!
